They can even try to make it a competition and see how many words they can think of in 5 or 10 minutes. Once students have learnt a group of letters, then have them make their own words from these and write them as cursive. This adds meaning to their learning and they can see real world use for the skills they are learning. In phonics we try to get students blending single sounds into words as quickly as they can. So carry them on into this cursive writing as well. We do all these techniques with learning print letters and even in phonics instruction.
